The Australian Trucking Association has opened nominations for the 2019 National Trucking Industry Awards.
Acknowledging individuals and organisations, the prestigious awards recognise those who have gone 'above and beyond' to improve their workplace and contribute to the trucking industry.
"Trucking plays an important role in the lives of all Australians and our economy, so it's important we recognise those who go the extra mile and inspire others," said ATA Chair, Geoff Crouch.
Nominations are now open in the following categories:
• Outstanding Contribution to the Trucking Industry
• National Trucking Industry Woman of the Year
• National Professional Driver of the Year
• National Training Excellence Award
The award winners will be announced at the ATA's Trucking Australia 2019 conference, held over April 3 to 5 in Perth, during the Foundation Sponsors Gala Awards Dinner. The Don Watson Memorial Award and TruckSafe John Kelly Memorial Award will also be presented on the evening.
"By acknowledging our industry's high achievers, we are recognising an investment in quality, a commitment to serve, and the business awareness required to operate in this environment," Mr Crouch said.
"I invite all in the industry to nominate someone great and join us in Perth as we celebrate industry excellence."
Nominations close on March 8, 2019.
